Body Of Missing Yosemite Hiker Found

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK (CBS/AP) -- Officials at Yosemite National Park have found the body of a man who was missing for more than three weeks.

Park spokesman Scott Gediman says the body of 39-year-old James Michael Millet Jr. was found above Yosemite Valley on Tuesday.

The Fresno man had planned a day hike to Upper Yosemite Fall on Aug. 11 and never returned to his vehicle.

When his car was recently noticed along a road in the park, officials traced it back to him and began a search.

A cause of death was not released.

An investigation is ongoing.
